Days Before the World Wept

We bleed, we follow Slaves to the remnants of time (no tomorrow) In need of power Bound by the shackles of time (never borrowed) What is the cost? The ultimate price you would pay? As the wonders unravel before you For a moment before they decay In that second before the wheel ends The twists and turns engraved in your eyes What rules would you bend? What flesh would you spend? For one more day in this life I took your time away And you will never find it When the day is done you'll see (no tomorrow) Your life is mine to sell And you can never buy it When the night is done you'll be (never borrowed) I was a fool that hoped one day to be wise When the trade appeared right before my eyes How could I know? How could I see? Look beyond what's in front of me? When the lies tell this beautiful tale Of what lies beneath the veil I swam so far just to drown Sirens calling all around Weathered hands to reach the sound Near the edge my death is found I swam so far just to drown Just to drown in shallow waters And I feel life slowly escapes me When can I breathe? When can I breathe? I took your time away And you will never find it When the day is done you'll see (no tomorrow) Your life is mine to sell And you can never buy it When the night is done you'll be (never borrowed) I took your time away And you will never find it When the day is done you'll see... Your life is mine to sell And you can never buy it When the night is done you'll be...

If you look at the face of evil Evil will look right back at you They raise their pitchforks to the sky Summoning the moon as their guide Their dragging feet march on the slab To the beat of an absent snare drum A vision unseen of bodies dancing in the night For the beauty in unison cannot be denied You can nail them to the cross You can burn them at the stake But their sins will never be forgiven Would you trade an arm and a leg for the promise of time? Memories fade as new thought is created They kindly move out for the good to take their place The hope of redemption will never undo your wrongs Time is unforgiving to those who try to run For those who see the world as evil, let me tell you this Even cruel actions have a purpose to fulfill They'll sing in places you thought no notes were even left 'Cause you see in the end Music would not live in an evil world If you look at the face of evil Evil will look right back! Would you trade an arm and a leg for the promise of time? Memories fade as new thought is created They kindly move out for the good to take their place The hope of redemption will never undo your wrongs Time is unforgiving to those who try to run These hands are unforgiving to those who try to run These hands are unforgiving to those who try to run

My body lay frozen in the finest attire Even with eyes wide shut I can hear the looks on their faces Every mourning mask worn with insincerity These things always bring a few They come to pay respect to their own shattered dreams Sorry to disappoint but today is not that day Your crocodile tears will have to wait it seems Close your eyes, just a moment Listen to the frame dissolve into horizon Pick a side, choose your colors Wave your flag, keep away from the fences At last you can hear the sound of your heart beating For just a moment Don't you dare, ring that bell I will claw through the dirt To all that came, my apologies This book still has pages left unwritten A story familiar to those bitten I will claw through the dirt To all that came, my apologies This book still has pages left unwritten Take these coins off my eyes I'm not ready to be put down If only you could hear the screams in my mind Take these coins off my eyes The action breaks the rules We create, we decide Security's your box Art is our line These coins aren't sewn to my eyes Take these coins off my eyes Forget all you thought you knew You won't put us down! Scratch our names off your list You'll never put us down! Put us down!

Blood is the currency And your time is wearing thin Get in, get out The dying roll in On raw meat they feed We feed! They watch the passersby dance into the dirt Blissfully unaware They lick their lips with sinister plots Tonight they will feast We feed! It goes best with eyes closed Cast out the nets of the living May the reaping never cease (May the reaping never cease) Forgotten amongst the living The dead shall never rest in peace (The dead shall never rest in peace) 'Cause fear goes best with their pain But the hunt is just a game Come now eager ones, it's time to earn your place Let's set them on a wild goose chase We feed! It goes best with open eyes! Cast out the nets of the living May the reaping never cease (May the reaping never cease) Forgotten amongst the living The dead shall never rest in peace (The dead shall never rest in peace)

I hear a voice coming from the river Far through the valleys, far far away So weak, it could knock down trees with his quiver Fear is the word he spreads through the leaves I held my hand out to the world Dirt on skin, dust in eyes As I fought - fought to remember What the days were like The days before the world wept I see the rays bleed through the clouds High in the sky, high high up Their touch is dull, but its burn is loud Hide is the word they speak to the grounds And I held out my hand With every passing day it never wavered The dust would grow stronger Bring clouds between my reach and the light She is calling, she is calling For my return And her voice will carry on She is calling, she is calling Out to her home As a remnant lost in time I feel the tremors from Mother's roots Buried deep, down down below They shake in silence through her deadly fingers Run is the word she roars to the crowds And I'll hold out my hand If my fingers should ache And my grip starts to weaken I will hold my hand to the world The seasons would change like clockwork Tick tock - tick tock The clocks keeps ticking Sirens now calling our names And we run - we run To answer their call As long as the seasons still change 'Til all my memories wither away I'll hold out my hand and marvel at the days The days before the world wept She is calling, she is calling For my return And her voice will carry on She is calling, she is calling Out to her home As a remnant lost in time
